Event Report by Eunice Leung
Welcome back to our returning JETs!
On November 8th, in partnership with the Consulate-General of Japan in Toronto, JETAA Toronto hosted our annual Re-Entry Conference. This event was designed to help the recent JET returnees transition back to life in Canada. We had a total of 20 attendees that participated in a wide variety of sessions that included job hunting, resume writing and interview skills, as well as discussions on strategies for coping with reverse culture shock. This conference also gave the participants the opportunity to reminisce about their time in Japan, learn more about the Japanese community in Toronto and to eat a delicious bento for lunch!
Thank you to all the volunteers, speakers and The Japan Foundation, Toronto for offering the space for us to host the conference. We wish the newly JET returnees all the success in their upcoming endeavours!
